Venezuelan Christmas Food

Venezuelan Christmas has a flavor all its own — and once you’ve experienced it, nothing else compares. For me, the holidays don’t feel complete without hallacas wrapped and ready on the counter and the smell of pan de jamón coming out of the oven. These are the recipes I look forward to all year, the ones I make with my kids so they grow up knowing where they come from. Whether you’re recreating the traditions you grew up with or discovering Venezuelan Christmas food for the first time, this is your table.
